On November 1, 2023, ZimVie Inc (NASDAQ:ZIMV), a global leader in the dental and spine markets, released its financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.

The net loss for Q3 2023 was $5.1 million, a change of $5.9 million compared to net income of $0.8 million in Q3 2022.

Financial Performance

Third party dental sales of $105.3 million grew 0.2% on a reported basis and declined 1.2% on a constant currency basis. This was primarily driven by one less selling day in Q3 2023 versus Q3 2022, impacting global dental sales by 1.6%. Third party spine sales of $97.6 million decreased by $10.6 million, or 9.8% on a reported basis and 8.9% on a constant currency basis. This decrease was primarily due to competitive pressures, lower net sales due to the company's exit of spine products activities in China, and one less selling day impacting global spine sales by 1.4%.

The increase in net loss was primarily due to lower net sales and higher cost of products sold in the spine products category due to the release of a spin-related contingent liability in the prior year. This was partially offset by operating expense savings in the dental and spine product categories from the announced restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives.

Adjusted Financial Metrics

Adjusted net income for Q3 2023 was $2.2 million, a decrease of $10.7 million compared to the same period in the previous year.

Adjusted EBITDA for Q3 2023 was $25.8 million, or 12.7% of third party net sales, a decrease of $3.6 million and 110 basis points, respectively, from Q3 2022. This was primarily driven by lower net sales and higher cost of products sold, partially offset by restructuring-related operating expense savings.
